The world's youngest mountain glacier - Crater Glacier at Mount St. Helens #volcano (WA, USA) - formed in 1996 in the amphitheater produced by the May 1980 eruption. The glacier flows around lava domes erupted in 1980-86 and 2004-08. Photos taken in 2023. #WorldGlacierDay 🧪🌋

🧪🛰️ My colleague @simoncarn.bsky.social and I were consulted for this note by @avoiland.bsky.social to comment on volcanoes and clouds in the South Atlantic. A nice place to study aerosol-cloud interactions! (and other things of course) earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15404...

When Spurr last erupted in 1992, volcanic ash & gas clouds (a potential aviation hazard) drifted south over the Pacific NW & Upper Midwest. A fully functional USGS & NOAA is needed to monitor such events & mitigate their impacts. NASA/NOAA satellite data also critical for tracking volcanic clouds.

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

A reminder: If you need to know about volcanic activity in the United States and are concerned that you might not be able to reach USGS websites at some point, PLEASE make sure you sign up for our volcano notification Service: volcanoes.usgs.gov/vns3/ It is a straight-to-email messaging system. 🌋🧪⚒️

Satellite imagery from @planet.com shows increased steaming in the summit caldera of Fentale volcano (Ethiopia) in the last week. Emissions appear confined to topographic lows - perhaps a meteorological effect (temperature inversion?). @davidmpyle.bsky.social @volckaren.bsky.social 🧪

No insurer will write a policy for global cooling triggered by a massive 🌋eruption. But we shouldn't ignore a risk just because it's uninsurable. In this comment led by Markus Stoffel, we argue the risk industry ought to think more seriously about 'Tambora 2.0'. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Another batch of #volcanic SO₂ en route to the #UK/#Ireland, courtesy of the latest #eruption on #Iceland's #Reykjanes peninsula. Might cause some local #AirQuality impacts in the coming days. @eddy_weather @ScottishEPA SO₂ data: @NOAA/@NASA @JPSSProgram #NOAA20-#OMPS

The first #lava flows since 1974 on #Kīlauea's Southwest rift zone, imaged by @planet on June 3 at 20:09 UTC (10:09 HST), shortly before the #eruption paused. #Hawaii @USGSVolcanoes @USGS @Volcanoes_NPS

The largest #eruption on record of #Kanlaon/#Canlaon #volcano (#Philippines) on June 3 produced an upper tropospheric SO₂ cloud (~0.05 Tg SO₂), seen here from #geostationary orbit by #SouthKorea's UV #GK2B #GEMS sensor. @phivolcs_dost @News5PH @nababaha

First #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI overpass ~1.3 hours after the onset of today's #eruption on #Iceland's #Reykjanes peninsula shows very high SO₂ column amounts in plume spreading SE. Est. SO₂ emission rate is ~1400 kg/s (~120,000 tons/day). @Vedurstofan @CopernicusEU @rockhardIES

SO₂ emissions from the April 16 #eruption of #Ruang #volcano (#Indonesia) measured with hourly cadence by #SouthKorea's #geostationary UV GK-2B #GEMS sensor. Relatively low SO₂ amounts detected so far. @PVMBG_ @id_magma @andrewcraigtupp

The latest #eruption in #Iceland has produced the largest #volcanic SO₂ cloud measured to date in the 2023-24 #Reykjanes Fires, consistent with reports that it is the most intense episode so far. Data: @CopernicusEU #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI. @Vedurstofan @rockhardIES @Alberto_Carac

As sunlight gradually returns to high northern latitudes, so does UV satellite monitoring of #volcanic SO₂ emissions from #Iceland. #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI detected SO₂ from today's #eruption on the #Reykjanes peninsula drifting over the N. Atlantic.

The #SouthKorean geostationary #UV #GK2B #GEMS sensor did not detect any significant increase in SO₂ emissions at #Marapi #volcano (#Sumatra) up to ~2 hours prior to its Dec 3/08:00 UTC #eruption. On Dec 4, SO₂ is observed dispersing in multiple directions. @PVMBG_ @id_magma

#SouthKorea's geostationary #GK2B #GEMS instrument is tracking some of the SO₂ emitted by the Nov 20-21 #Ulawun #eruption as it disperses over the Western Pacific. #Volcanic degassing from #Dukono (#Indonesia) and #Philippine #volcanoes also visible. @andrewcraigtupp @airesEO

Ongoing #eruption of #Ulawun #volcano (#PapuaNewGuinea) clearly detected amid tropical convection by the @JMA_kishou #Himawari8 SO₂ RGB product (yellow/orange = upper-level SO₂). Emissions continuing as of 15:40 UTC/Nov 20. Largest Ulawun eruption since 2019. Credit: @CIRA_CSU

An #eruption of #Klyuchevskoy (#Kamchatka, #Russia), Eurasia's highest active #volcano, has spread SO₂ & ash over the North Pacific. #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI detects ~0.1 Tg SO₂ on Nov 2; Klyuchevskoy's largest eruption since 1994 but well below the threshold for #climate impacts.

Another explosive #eruption at #Bagana (#PapuaNewGuinea) on July 14 at ~21:50 UTC, detected as a #volcanic Cb by the @NOAA/@UWCIMSS VOLCAT system. A similar event, unusual for this #volcano, occurred on July 7. @BrendanVolc @andrewcraigtupp @Eruptn

First look at @CopernicusEU #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI satellite SO₂ data for the #eruption at Litli-Hrútur on #Iceland's #Reykjanes peninsula, showing the #volcanic gas plume drifting SW off the coast and out over the North Atlantic. @Vedurstofan @EIlyinskaya @gislio

How has the 2022 Hunga Tonga #volcanic #eruption impacted Earth's atmosphere & #climate? Our Fall #AGU23 session on the eruption is now open for submissions, and will discuss the latest research on this topic. Abstract deadline: Aug 2. @theAGU...

Large #eruption of #Shiveluch (#Шивелуч, #Kamchatka) w/ stratospheric plume, starting at ~12:00 UT on April 10 with paroxysmal phase at ~17:00 UT. #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI measures ~0.2 Tg SO₂ in the #volcanic cloud. Looks like the largest Shiveluch eruption of the satellite era.

On April 7 at ~05:40 UT, a powerful #eruption of #Bezymianny ejected #volcanic ash that drifted rapidly east in the jet stream as nightfall approached #Kamchatka. #Himawari GeoColor/Fire Temperature (@CIRA_CSU) shows hot spots at Bezymianny & #Sheveluch to the north. @JMA_kishou

#Postdoc position available @michigantech to work on multi-decadal records of #volcanic SO₂ emissions using #satellite data. @NASA-funded, in collaboration with @NASAGoddard & @environmentca. Happy to discuss remote work options. More info & application:...

Kudos to the @iavcei2023 team for providing an excellent virtual meeting platform, which I think has really raised the bar for hybrid conferences. I hope future @IAVCEI_official meetings will follow suit. #iavcei2023

Great to see the new #geostationary UV #GK2B #GEMS hourly SO₂ data presented at #AGU22. This animation shows SO₂ degassing at #Taal #volcano (#Philippines) detected by GEMS in October 2022. Potential game-changer for volcanic gas monitoring in E. Asia. @phivolcs_dost @nababaha

Looking forward to our #AGU22 sessions on the January 2022 #eruption of the submarine Hunga Tonga - Hunga Ha'apai #volcano. A new paradigm for #volcano-atmosphere interactions. #AGU2022 @theAGU @KristenFauria @AGUvgp

Exciting to see the release of SO₂ data from #SouthKorea's #GEMS - the first geostationary UV sensor, to be followed in 2023-24 by @NASA's @TEMPO_Mission & @esa's #Sentinel4. On Dec 6-7, GEMS caught some #MaunaLoa SO₂ drifting over China & Japan on its journey around the world.

The #EPIC instrument on @NASA/@NOAA's #DSCOVR spacecraft (1 million miles from Earth) has pioneered high-cadence UV observations of #volcanic SO₂ emissions from space. EPIC captured emissions from the #MaunaLoa #eruption on Nov 28-29, which injected SO₂ to a range of altitudes.

The U.S. @USMNT is out of #WorldCup2022, and as a parting gesture we've sent some American #volcanic gas. This #Sentinel5 #TROPOMI image shows SO₂ emitted at the start of the #MaunaLoa #eruption, and transported in the sub-tropical jet stream, approaching #Qatar on December 5.

Following the great tradition of #Icelandic #eruptions, there is now a #livestream of the #MaunaLoa #eruption from a webcam on Mauna Kea. #MaunaLoaErupts #MaunaLoaVolcano #MaunaLoaEruption #Hawaii https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so_qJJsjbaM
